収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

I'm classifying them as half-assed because the person doing them admits to not being a statistician, because statisticians have pointed out that you can't jump to conclusions in cases like this because you can't identify all of the relevant factors, and because there's literally ZERO corroborating evidence for the outlandish claims of the electoral fraud theorists.

For the record (and as I've already stated), I support an audit of the discrepancy. What I dismiss is the tone of people, typically Obama supporters or Hillary haters or both, who assume that a discrepancy is evidence of fraud and perpetuate a slander against the Clinton campaign just because they don't like her. I am an Edwards supporter who agrees more with Kucinich on matters of policy than with any other Democrat. I like Obama's style and politics, but the messianic fervor of many of his supporters and their willingness to engage in slurs against Clinton over stuff like this is leading me to consider supporting her over him if it comes down to that choice. (Right now, in part because of the tone of his campaigning in the last couple of days, Obama still has the edge over Clinton for me.) And as a Democrat who genuinely likes all candidates running and wants to defeat the Republicans, I have a real problem with slander of any of them. There's lots about Clinton that's worthy of withering criticism, so it's a shame that something like this is getting so much attention.

Most of the slander is coming from Clinton's political opponents, but I detected a whiff of it in solarbird's original post at http://solarbird.livejournal.com/594810.html.
